    Branch use only means that it will be completed by the branch, leave it blank!

    If the mandate asks for Credit Card details then it is not a direct debit as you cannot have a direct debit on a credit card. A direct debit can only be collected using NSC / Account number or BIC / IBAN.

    You can actually use your credit card account to pay direct debits, here is an example from Emobile/Meteor:

    How to pay your bill

    N.B All new Bill pay customers have to pay by Direct Debit.
    Bills can be paid in the following ways:

    • Direct Debit from you bank account - You need to fill out a Direct Debit Mandate Form and payment will automatically be taken from your bank account.
    • Credit Card Direct Debit - You need to fill out a mandate and payment will be automatically charged to your credit card.
    • Credit card over the phone - Please contact our Sales / Customer care department.
    • Post Office - need to take giro to Post office - payments take approx 7-10 days to process.
    • Cheque - can be sent directly to Meteor and will take 7-10 days to be processed.
    • Cash - in Meteor store only.

    There is no such thing as Credit Card Direct Debit and Meteor are incorrect to call it such. Its a recurring card payment and is covered by the Card Scheme rules and not by the direct debit scheme rules. The consumer protection measures available in Regulation 260/2012 are only available to direct debits and not to recurring payments on credit / debit cards.
